PRENTICE, Wis. — Prentice sold out on stopping Hurley’s vaunted rushing attack. So the Northstars went to the air and passed for almost as many yards as they ran for in a 36-8 victory Saturday afternoon.

After Devin Soltis ran 55 yards for a touchdown on Hurley’s first offensive play, the Northstars had to vary their attack to move the football and it worked.

They ended with three passing touchdowns and 144 yards through the air compared to 154 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

It gives Hurley more options offensively going into a big matchup of ea...
